The Maximus Formula Thread - Help/OCing/Guide/Rampage conversion

[Flak]

Can anyone that upgraded to 1403 still access Intel MSM during boot? I upgraded (to see if the new intel msm would increase my SSD raid 0 speed, which it did) but for me the boot process no longer pauses there at all to give you time to do the ctrl + i. I've tried doing ctrl + i right after the bios does the usb init but that didn't work either.

I upgraded from 0907 to 1403 last night and my RAID-0 still works and I can access the IMSM just fine. I have never done a Rampage conversion though. A lot of was set to retarded values throughout the BIOS even though I flashed with /pbnc /n which is supposed to clear out CMOS settings so I set it to load the default values then saved and rebooted. Then I changed my BIOS settings again.

When I set the BIOS to RAID (on 1403), I saw the Ctrl-i prompt for like 0.5 seconds. I saw it, but it went by really quick.

Hi all,

What is the IMSM [Intel Matrix Storage Manager] Option ROM in Maximus Formula BIOS 1403?

Thanks

I guess that activates the full support Matrix Storage Manager. Strange ... Here Rampage 0902 BIOS has nothing similar.
